New craft able armour added in patch 3.3. You will need a blacksmithing skill of 450 in order to learn this and the mats are 8 titan steel bars, 12 eternal earth and 5 primordial saronites. A titansteel bar is about 150g and eternal earth just about 7g so you would need 150x8 + 12x7=1284 gold at least.You can probably buy the primordial saronites from 49426. Estimated price of the saronites will be 2000g, so buying this item in AH will probably be around 15.000 gold and probably more.

Comment by xvvo

Not really worth the craft if you want to preserve Primordial Saronite, considering there are two other iLVL 264 Boots around with almost the exact same stats.

It really depends on what you already have or what's available to you - Scourge Fanged Stompers and Grinning Skull Greatboots are considered to be better. Of course, both are drops and sometimes getting them can be a little frustrating. Choose wisely!

Obtainable upon reaching Honored/Revered reputation with the Ashen Verdict at the cost of 1x Primordial Saronite per recipe, there are new Boots and Legs for each Plate-wearing spec. You will require 450 in Blacksmithing to scribe these recipes. Sold by Alchemist Finklestein inside of Icecrown Citadel.

Comment by BigStick777

Similar to the craftable BS pants added with this patch, there is no defense on this item. I believe this is due to the fact that at this level, remaining ucrittable should be no issue for tanks, and blizzard is reallocating those item points toward threat generation to accomodate the insane DPS people will be pulling.

Good pair of boots, and accessible for people who can't get to the hard modes.

Comment by JackEKZ

these have no Defense rating but they have DODGE?Edit: the reason why i dont get why they have dodge is because of the dodge decrease in ICC

Comment by CalculatorSWC

I'm waiting for my guild crafter right now to log on so I can get these bad boys made. They'll go nicely with the Frost Emblem belt I just purchased. I'm excited! Tho I am now in debt 1 Primordial Saronite to my guild.

Best thing about these boots is the Hit Rating. I'm the kind of tank who isn't comfortable being under 8% hit, and I'll actually gain a bit upgrading to these from my Boots of the Lingering Vortex...

Comment by alvasalrey

nice hoofs but how do the boots look? LOL

Comment by Sanitydistortion

I just got these babies last night. For the comment of people having to "waste emblems" on this, in no way. I spent around 10k to get myself these boots. And totally worth it. Won't be replacing these untill ICC25 hm.

For the looks. They have that very "chunky" and robust look we tanks like ;) Skin-wise, they suit the emblem items nicely.

Comment by Dawnrider

Ill be getting these boots tomorrow hopefully.

Theres 2 ways to effectively gem these boots.

2 Majestic Zircons for 60 stam.

or for those who want the def rating.

1 Enduring Eye of Zul and 1 Majestic Zircon. Also getting the socket bonus, giving 54 stam. Ill most likely be going with the Zul/Zircon gemming.

Comment by Megaira

Also have the boots and i have socketed 1 Enduring Eye of Zul (10 Def+15 Stam) and 1 Majestic Zircon. For me it´s the best combination cause of the missing def on the boots.

Comment by Traelos

I spent about 3000g, and about 70 of my alts badges on em, needed the hit, lost all of .2 evasion, i agree its definatly worth it.

Comment by Pezhi

I just got this lovely boots on my DK tank, its worth if can buy the Primordials around 1.5k for each. the next similar Tanking boots lvl 264 is Grinning Skull Greatboots from 25-man Valithria Dreamwalker that gives Expertise , kinda hard to get.

Comment by Tackytucks

The lack of defense on whole SERIES of tanking gear in ICC is the bad part. Not that just this one item is missing defense.

Like the pants, thats -80 defense, which has to be made up somehow. Yeah most of us are over the DEF minimum (cap is a bad word for 540 defense, its not a cap) but we aren't 80 defense over it.

Comment by citrique

While these are not bad boots by any means, they are not nearly as much of an upgrade from Greaves of the Lingering Vortex as one would think despite the significant ilevel increase - especially for DKs where the diminishing returns on parry rating render it worth less per point compared to dodge or defense rating. A lot of the item budget has been devoted to strength, which is a good threat stat, but not amazing. You only get 6 more hit, 6 more stam, lose 5 dodge, and trade 39 defense for 72 parry otherwise. Given the mats cost this is not worth it when TOGC 10 can be facerolled easily at this point for the 245 boots which would allow you to save mats for the better-itemized 264 crafted legs, Pillars of Might.

These are better-itemized for a paladin than for a DK.

From an EH standpoint these are barely an upgrade and don't justify spending ~7.5-10k in mats unless you're extremely unlucky with drops in icecrown or have no access to heroic 25-man.

Comment by luubox

Been missing hit rating myself a bit, since i went from toc to icc gear. havent been lucky with the hit items.my guild is currently only doing icc10 and not 25 nor heroic, theese boots would be an amazing upgrade for me, if only i could get them bleedin saronite a tad faster than just using my alt to purchase them... ^^

Comment by jenkyin

how much should i tip a BS for these?

well some jerk decided to downrate a comment for asking what a reasonable tip would be for these boots.

Comment by donkon

what is a reasonable price for these?

Comment by shipwrecksos

With the exception of tier gear, it is generally very difficult to find gear that both has well itemized stats for you AND looks aesthetically pleasing when you equip it. Let's face facts, most of us players (unless you're playing on a die-hard lore guild on an RP server) will take whatever gear we can get our grubby little hands on as long as it is an upgrade statwise. I mean, who cares if your gear looks freakin awesome if it's so poorly itemized that you can't keep your group alive?

Well thankfully Blizz has decided to give us a set of ilvl 264 gear in the ICC patch that is very well itemized, easily obtainable, and looks really cool when you equip all pieces together. The best part is, all except 2 of these items can be obtained PRE-RAID either through crafting professions or your everyday Emblem of Frost from heroics (doing weeklys, VOA, and ICC raids can speed this up, of course, but for the sake of argument, most of this stuff CAN be obtained pre-raid).

So, without any further ado, i give you..., the "Everyman" tanking set:

*I have purposefully left out bracers since they have no visual impact on your character when this entire set is equipped. Visually, this shares the models of warrior T10 gear, only this set includes a matching belt and boots. The beauty of this set is that it can be equipped by any plate wearing tank class and the stats are so strong and well itemized, it actually can give you more survivability and threat as a tank than your T10 set bonuses can come close to.

To see all of these items in their full 3D glory, click here! (drumroll please...)

So, we've got a cool looking set of gear, but let's not forget the most important aspect of any gear set..., STATS! Gear sets shouldn't only look good together, but must function well together and this set of gear is extremely well balanced for any tanking class. Here are the summed totals of each tanking stat in this set as of the current patch (excluding socket bonuses):

The stats/sockets in this set are higher and just as balanced as what you will find in your tier gear (FAR more than the ilvl 251 version, and slightly more than the ilvl 264 version which is incredibly time consuming to get). Any filler stats you need can be obtained through your bracers, neckpiece, rings, trinkets, and weapons. Considering how much easier this set is to obtain than T10.5, I can see the "Everyman" gear set becoming the tank set of choice for many players.

Comment by Bronzeleaf

With 2 nice sockets, and, a good bit of strength & stam plus the socket bonus, make these a worthwhile investment. If, like me, you're tanking ICC, you will appreciate the dodge AND parry. The best thing to remember is that you can get these before even walking into ICC... These boots should not be overlooked.

So I got Dodge, Parry, Defense, and, Stamina. Can't argue with that for raid tanking.

Comment by HunterKingxxl

I bought the mats for these bad boys for around 6.5K and tipped the BSer 150g to smithy them. Socketed them with 2x +30stam and enchanted them +22stam.

These rock solid kickers will last me till the grinning skulls come before me. Best invenstment for a tank atm. Save your emblems for stuff you can't buy from AH or BSers. These boots are insanely worth their money even if you buy them of the AH at 9K (Hellfire price). On to pillars of might for me and saving up the emblems for the nice trinkets.

Comment by Phototropic

These have no Defense rating but they have DODGE?Edit: the reason why i dont get why they have dodge is because of the dodge decrease in ICC

I know it's a reeeeally old post but I feelI need to add this:

Even with the -20% dodge debuff in ICC, any points put towards dodge still benefits overall avoidance; if you, hypothetically, have 40% dodge and are in ICC, the reduction will put you at 20%. Any further increase in your dodge rating, as an example 5%, will then put you at 25%:-

40% - 20% debuff + 5% = 25%

It's not a variable '-20% of your current rating', but instead a static reduction of '-20%'.

Edited because me fail English... Would seem that it's not unpossible after all :(

Comment by orcishincubus

I was only breaking down to the raw materials, obviously Wowhead states what is needed to make the items.

Comment by orcishincubus

Only counting the raw materials, to make these (not including the primordial saronite that Wowhead states), it will take:

20 eternal earth

8 eternal fire (for titansteel)

8 eternal shadow (for titansteel)

24 titanium bars

For both the pants and the boots, it will take:

52 eternal earth

20 eternal fire

20 eternal shadow

60 titanium bars

Comment by raca08

Another good thing to remember with these zero +defense pieces: if you're using Greater Inscription of the Gladiator you can get away with 536 defense and still be crit immune, and if you aren't using that enchant you should.

Comment by h44mm00

On high population servers you can generally get these for about 2.5-3k cost price. I would recommend saving up a few badges on your mains if gearing alts and just get them crafted. They are excellent - especially if you don't do many 25 mans.

Comment by Elladaryn

A funny fact about this boot is that it is the only boot in the game that has the word King on it (except for the Challenge Mode Warrior Set Boots). So next time you need to find this item just search for King ^^
